The blog Save the Slope, whose raison d’etre is “to make the case for expanding the Park Slope Historic District,” put up an interesting post this weekend in which it examined some of the architectural travesties in the neighborhood that might have been avoided if the historic district had a larger footprint. Two examples that caught our attention were these two pairs of formerly twin houses, the first (at left) at 190 and 188 8th Avenue and the second (at right) on 9th Street between 4th and 5th Avenues. Lots more remodeling disasters on the link.

Agree the left one is awful, but the right one has a nice clean finish.
De-Linteled and Bewildered!
🙂
Oh right! Great movie, but the sequel- De-Linteled and Bewildered, not so much.
Please try to get your films straight, Bxgrl!
The brick-eating zombies was in De-Stooped III.
I know- so scary! My favorite scene is the one where they open the door to the basement and see the zombie eating bricks.

Attack of the Brickface & Stucco Salesmen!!!
I saw that film at the drive-in when I was a teen. It was in 3-D!
Some of the facade rehabs are very old- probably dating from the Attack of the Brickface & Stucco Salesmen in the 40’s and 50’s. A real shame.
Very interesting blog.
I hope they get what they seek — more protection for the architectural beauty of the slope.
They make a good case for it.
